Epilepsy is a neurological condition that disturbs the electrical functioning of the brain. It results in altered consciousness and seizures. The most common symptom of epilepsy is repeated seizures, the nature of which varies from one type of epilepsy to the other. As different people have different triggers, what changes may need to be made will differ from person to person. Lifestyle changes will not treat epilepsy as such, but will help people to have less seizures.

I know this must be a difficult thing to deal with and thankfully there are lifestyle changes. The biggest my doctor recommended was increased fiber and if you really want to make sure you are getting enough fiber there are pills made by citrucel that keep you regular. Once you are not straining as much anymore you should feel better. If this doesn't work it may be more severe and you would want to go to the doctor.
